Another couple of old classics have popped up:- 

 

From Here to Eternity 1953   Burt Lancaster - Montgomery Clift - Frank Sinatra - Deborah Kerr - Ernest Borgnine.

Won 8 Oscars - 25 wins & 7 nominations total

 

In Hawaii in 1941, a private is cruelly punished for not boxing on his unit's team, while his captain's wife and second-in-command are falling in love

Forbidden Planet 1956    Walter Pidgeon - Leslie Nielsen - Anne Francis

 

When Adams and his crew are sent to investigate the silence from a planet inhabited by scientists, he finds all but two have died. Dr. Morbius and his daughter Altaira have somehow survived a hideous monster which roams the planet. Unknown to Adams, Morbius has made a discovery, and has no intention of sharing it (or his daughter!) with anyone.

To me, in 1956 the robot was cute but the monster was really scary :w00t:

 

Both available from 1337x

Watched an old movie from a while back, which I couldn't remember a great deal about, but I was pleased that I watched it again, and it was called, "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas in the lead role.

 

I don't think it was meant to have racist undertones, although he was in conflict with a Korean shopkeeper, as well as some Latinos, and just couldn't seem to understand what the world around him had become.

 

Worth another watch in my opinion.

He plays such a despicable character that I really felt a strong dislike for him by the end - IMO this is a sign of excellent acting, to be able to draw out such emotion from a viewer.  Good recommendation.

The authoress, Martina Cole wrote about 50 books..only 3 have been made into series..pretty good.

I think the correct line up is :

 

Jack Irish:

Series:

Season 1 - 2016 ( 6 eps )

Season 2 - 2018 ( 6 eps )

Season 3 - 2021 ( 4 eps )

 

Movies :

Bad Debts  - 2012 

Black Tide - 2012

Dead Point - 2014

 

Some sites are mixing them all up together and confusion abounds  ( as happened with Strike ) , my streaming site claims 4 seasons of 6 episodes each !!

 

A good way to put them in order is by the year, plus , all episodes are roughly 54 minutes long and the movies 1 + 1/2 hours .

I'm half way through watching (Season 4 of 7) Endeavour. This is a crime drama series about the early life of "Inspector Morse" based in Oxford. Pretty good so far with decent plots and acting. Typically 4 episodes per season. Well worth a watch IMHO. At 90 minutes per episode, it's a bit longer than I normally prefer. 45 minute episodes are my preferred option, although some series such as Mr. Inbetween and Sky Rojo (both of which I would recommend) seem to work well with only 30 minute episodes.

Really?

 

I thought this one was pretty good.

Think the rating of 7 is pretty accurate.

 

Each to their own.

Fair enough. The world would be a pretty boring place if we all liked/disliked the same things wouldn't it?
